Nazareth Area High School junior Sage Karam finished fourth at the Indy Lights 100 race in Birmingham, Ala. Sunday.

The race is an important proving ground for future stars of the IndyCar series as teams competed for nearly $4 million in prize money. The cars are second only in speed to the IZOD IndyCar Series at most tracks they visit.

Carloz Munoz, who had the pole, led the nine-car race from start to finish, followed by Jack Hawksworth, Gabby Chaves and Karam.

Karam, now part of the Schmidt Peterson Motorsports team, was one of four rookies in the race.
